Overview
Bloomberg Law, Law360, LevFin Insights, and Reuters covered Steptoe’s success for SourceHOV Holdings LLC in a judgment enforcement litigation stemming from the merger that created Exela Technologies. On May 25, a Delaware vice chancellor refused to dismiss a judgment creditor’s suit seeking traditional and "reverse" corporate veil piercing against Exela and its subsidiaries in order to collect on a nearly $58 million-plus-interest merger stock appraisal award.
In a first-of-its-kind ruling in Delaware, Vice Chancellor Joseph R. Slights III denied the defendants' motion to dismiss a count seeking to pierce the corporate veil of the defendants. This will allow the plaintiffs to collect against the defendants, its subsidiaries, and all of its assets, to satisfy a long-standing appraisal judgment.
The Steptoe litigation team representing SourceHOV is led by partners Steve Davidson and Michael Baratz, with associates Claire Schachter, Lauren Goldschmidt and Emma Marshak.
